If this block is missing, you can add it by searching for **Trade parameters** and drag the trade parameter block to the workspace

### **2. Purchase conditions**

The **Restart trading conditions** block is where you can decide if your bot should continue trading. This block gets the last trade information and result, then trades again should it meet the set conditions.

You can find this by searching **Restart trading conditions** in the search bar
